parallel-plate capacitor is made of two square plates 25 cm on a side and 1.0 mmapart. The capacitor is connected to a 50.0-V ba

ttery. With the battery still connected,the plates are pulled apart to a separation of 2.00 mm. What are the energies stored inthe capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart? Why does the energydecrease even though work is done in separating the plates.

Answer:

6.9 x 10^-7 J  

3.5 x 10^-7 J

Explanation:

<u>Identify the unknown:  </u>

The energies stored in the capacitor before and after the plates are pulled farther apart  

<u>List the Knowns: </u>

Voltage of the battery: V = 50 V

Area of the plates: A = 0.25 x 0.25 = 0.0625 m^2

Original distance between the plates: d = 1 mm = 10^-3 m

New distance between the plates: d = 2 mm = 2 x 10^-3 m

Permittivity of free space: ∈o = 8.85 x 10^-12 C^2/Nm^2-

<u>Set Up the Problem:   </u>

Capacitance of a parallel-plate capacitor:  

C=∈o*A/d

Energy stored in a capacitor:  

U_c=(1/2)*V^2*C

<u>Solve the Problem:   </u>

<u>Before the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/10^-3 = 5•53 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 5.53 x 10^-10= 6.9 x 10^-7 J  

<u>After the plates are pulled farther apart:  </u>

C = 8.85 x 10^-12 x 0.0625/2*10^-3 = 2•77 x 10^-10 F  

U_c = (1/2) x (50)^2 x 2•77 x 10^-10 = 3.5 x 10^-7 J  

The energy decrease because the capacitance decrease, so the stored charge decrease and transferred to the battery

Se aplican dos fuerzas concurrentes a un objeto de 4N a la derecha y 5N a la izquierda. ¿Hacia donde se movió y con cuanta fuerz
Maksim231197 [3]

The forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

Given the following

Force towards the right = 4N

Force towards the left = 5N

Note that the force acting towards the left is negative, hence the force acting towards the left is -5N

Take the sum of force

Resultant force = -5N + 4N

Resultant force = -1N

This shows that the forces move strongly towards the left by 1N

by how many times occur in the force of attraction between two bodies change when the distance between then is reduced to one th
xenn [34]

Answer:

<em>The force is now 9 times the original force</em>

Explanation:

<u>Coulomb's Law </u>

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Coulomb's formula is:

\displaystyle F=k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

Where:

k=9\cdot 10^9\ N.m^2/c^2

q1, q2 = the particles' charge

d= The distance between the particles

Suppose the distance is reduced to d'=d/3, the new force F' is:

\displaystyle F'=k\frac{q_1q_2}{\left(\frac{d}{3}\right)^2}

\displaystyle F'=k\frac{q_1q_2}{\frac{d^2}{9}}

\displaystyle F'=9k\frac{q_1q_2}{d^2}

\displaystyle F'=9F

The force is now 9 times the original force
